Sara shoved open her bedroom door. It slammed hard against the wall.

Erin all but jumped out of Sara's bedroom window. "HOOOLY HELLLOOO!" Erin shrieked. She flung a slice of pizza into the air. Luckily the slice managed to land back onto its paper plate and not on Sara's beautiful rose petal pink bedspread.

Sara threw her keys and phone down onto the floor. She stormed over to her closet and flung open the doors. Immediately she began to tear through her dresses.

"Someone's in a mood," Erin said. She was trying to make light of the situation. "Are you a hurricane? If so, can you please blow away? I want my friend Sara back."

Sara let out a high-pitched, manic laugh. She spun to face Erin. "Sorry. I'm really mad right now."

Erin took a bite of her pizza. She held out a plate with a slice on it for Sara. "Maybe you should eat something, cranky."

Sara let out a dramatic sigh. She dropped to her knees and put her hands over her face. Her tears were threatening to surface. She squeezed her eyes closed, willing the emotions away. After a minute, she opened her eyes and smiled at Erin. "Okay. I'm good now."

Erin nodded her head as she chewed. She had one eyebrow raised with a questioning look. "I'm NOT gonna ask," Erin said, chewing with her mouth open. She swallowed loudly. "I am super curious. But I am also SO not in the mood for drama. Let's just chill out, okay?"

Sara picked up the slice of pizza off the paper plate. "Thanks. I really needed this." She took a delicious bite of the cheese pizza. She hadn't realized how hungry she'd gotten.

There was a scratching sound at her bedroom door. "NO TRASH!" Sara yelled.

She heard the dog whimper sadly and trot away down the hall. She met Erin's gaze. "He just wants the pizza," she said simply.

Erin made an 'OK' gesture with her hand and took another bite of her slice.

Sara spun back around and began to inspect three of her favorite dresses. "So I have a date tonight," she said.

Erin set down her pizza. "Really? With who?"

Sara whirled around. "It's with whom." She grabbed up one of the dresses that had dropped off its hanger. It was a bright red, very revealing dress. She'd never had the guts to wear it. But now...she smiled wickedly.

"Okay, Nerd!" Erin said, laughing. She'd polished off her slice of pizza and slapped another one onto her plate. But as she raised the pizza to her mouth, her hands froze halfway. "Wait. It's not with? It can't be????"

Sara took a chewy bite of her pizza as she studied the dress on the hanger. "Oh yes. My date tonight is with Kurt." She narrowed her eyes and ran her finger down the sexy dress. "And I want to make sure his eyes stay popped out of his head the entire night."

She heard Erin cough behind her. "Look, uh, Sara. I thought we already talked about Kurt."

Sara whirled around. "Yes. We did talk. And it's fine. I heard your concerns. But I like Kurt. He deserves a chance. Besides, we'll be at the Red Grill. It's perfectly crowded and safe."

Now finished with her pizza, Sara grabbed her phone up from the floor. She quickly texted Kurt back.

~Can't wait to see you! xoxo

She sent him her address.

Almost immediately, Kurt responded back with another red devil emoji.

Good, Sara thought. This red dress is fit to entertain the devil, himself.
